While summer temperatures in the Mediterranean continue to soar, more of us are looking for alternative, cooler coasts further north. We want to know about a great seaside holiday you’ve had on Europe’s more northern shores (from northern France to Scandinavia, but excluding the UK). Whether it was a stay at a traditional resort in Normandy, camping by a wild beach in the Netherlands or a cabin stay on a remote island off Norway or Sweden, we’d love to hear about places you’ve discovered on your travels.
The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
